For those of you that don't like the idea of the random panels, imagine how easy it'll be to find someone to trade with. I like the thrill of this, super fun way to do it!
I’ll bet that eventually they’ll sell these panels and stickers so that you can mix and match. Pretty genius really. So yeah people need to stop complaining.
The original H-10 owners have been waiting months for panels and will be waiting even longer. Anybody that gets the kit will have to wait to buy the wheels they want to match. Its weird.
I really like the idea of the surprise body panels! Wheel and tire combo are larger than I would've thought to use, but they look great and really fit the scale. Praise Wheel.
Part of me wants the F&F livery but i really like the Throttle Theropy especially with the pink rings like yours. I have been waiting on a kit version glad to finally grab one!
@@BahWeepGranahWeepNiniBong Yea i have been waiting on a KIT cause i have intended to do the Knights customs panels anyway so really whatever comes is just a bonus
The H10 kit is cool, mystery livery as the only option is terrible though. Hopefully they come to their senses and offer an option to just get the one you actually want.
@ It’s fun when it’s someone else’s money, lol. I don’t own any 1/10th crawlers and was considering an Optic as my first. If I’m paying for it and it’s my only truck then I want to know what I’m buying. I’m just not the target market for this product. Your video was great and I’m sure plenty of folks will enjoy it though!
What! Can't choose the color! What the heck! And Why Do I LOVE ALL THE COLORS! This is why I can't keep money,, I MUST GET THIS KIT!,,,, hahaha,,,, by the way, your build really came out looking incredible, great job
Prefer orange. However I am noticing several comments about the random color of the kit panels. In most kits you paint the panels anyway. If you do not like the color, change it or purchase a stainless or aluminum set. Of course there is always ebay so you could sell at a loss? If you are a builder of kits and like the Optic this looks like a good option.
I just finished a scratch list for an Optic build, and have to say I'm not chuffed about the random livery idea because I really like 2 of them and the others not so much. Still only playing with the idea as I was planning to move toward fabrication, inspired by Josh's build along series. I have a project in mind I would like to attempt once I have some skills.
@@scalebuildersguild exactly, not a make or break thing, your trade idea is good, and I'm curious who's gonna pop the 1st special 🥳 and what it will be.
Those wheel rings really do bring the whole livery together🤩, I'd be very happy to get that color, or the yellow and black. And damn Matt, this running video is Pro Shot, just flippin sick, had to roll it back a few times! Even the tunes rock!!!👏👏🤘
Pre ordered mine today. Love the surprise livery deal... as long as I don't get the black one 😊. My preferences are Orange, red, teal, and yellow or green.
Duuuude nice job on the video! The throttle therapy one is the one I would hope to get. Id want to pick one up for my daughter to build. Those are her race colors. ill have to wait and see if we can ever select the colors so I can get her one for Christmas maybe?
3:03 Happy to see the machined gears. However, it's not exactly fair or accurate to call the RTR gears "pot metal" (a term used to describe parts created from a low-quality alloy). They are sintered metal created from heated metal powder. It's more a difference in the manufacturing technology than the material. Not as strong as CNC, sure, but not junk. Also, due to the porosity of sintered gears they can be soaked in oil to make them self-lubricating. I never hear anyone talk about that.
Very cool! Love the optic and i love kits and i also love surprises so this is a win win win! Mystery guess is.. if orange one is based off a fast movie.. the other one would be the paul walker one to race against.
It won't matter which one I get, I don't do "liveries". I've been racing in some fashion since the 70's. It will have my paint on it before it sees daylight. I was hoping for a kit, I've got a full set of HH electronics waiting. Very cool.
You had me at kit, then lost me at random. I’ve been waiting for a kit but I’d like to pick my livery. “Mystery machines” are only for hotwheels, not RC 😂
I really doubt this is what gets released to the public. I feel like this is just something for the TH-camrs but if it is for the public that's pretty dumb.
My favorite crawlers are buggies! And I didn't buy an optic specifically because I was waiting for the kid! And now I have another Christmas present for myself 😊
Looks like my kit is shipping out today orange, green or teal would be my first picks but they all look really good and in no time we will be able to buy all the colors separately so not concerned about the color I get
I love the idea of random body panels. It keeps me from having a one color collection. It's hard to believe a guy of your incredible stature didn't get the mystery one. If only you had a friend who worked at Vanquish, that cared enough, looking out for you......
Allow Matt or Rebecca 👈🤪👍 Enjoyed the content and editing skills so much i had to subscribe , I'd love the lime green and black combo . I wonder if they could change the frame colour ?? THAT would be great 😮
@@scalebuildersguild The last run of VS4-10, I asked about it and they were saving money. Every video has to point out the red ano, I was so looking forward to it.
Can you give us more info about those ball end tool(s) that you use for building the ball ends on the rods, i like that manual yellow one but can't seem to find it; would be great if you gave that info and maybee also the electronics info that you use just for a reference.
Hello, You are the one who convinced me to buy a Vanquish Phoenix. I'm still very happy with that decision. ---- I have a question about your video: You are using 2.2 RIOT wheels, plus Proline Maxxis Trepador 2.2 “ Rock Crawling Tires . Unfortunately, I can't find a Tredador in 2.2 on the Proline site. Do you perhaps mean 1.9 RIOT wheels? I would be very pleased to receive an answer. Many thanks, Stefan from Germany.
People complaining about random panels when other options often only have one design and no choices anyway... If you dont like it, change it, just like any other truck out there.
It's also better for the seller to have random panels, so they don't get stuck with colours that don't sell. Anyway in the RC community I'm sure you could find someone willing to swap panels 😊
For those of you that don't like the idea of the random panels, imagine how easy it'll be to find someone to trade with. I like the thrill of this, super fun way to do it!

It looks like the mystery kit has real carbon fiber molded panels. Sweet looking

@@c0pp3 id suggest the rtr route as kits aren’t the best for first time buyers. Plus it comes with one kind of panels so you know what you’re getting.

No way !! Love it . Absolutely order one asap . Such a good time watching your videos , thank you for all your work !!!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Such a nice 4x4 Rc 🚘💯 Great Job on your build it looks epic
Thank you!
Nothing beats a good kit build, good stuff! Nice that they beefed it up where it counts, well done!

The mystery livery is a sweet idea!
Agreed!

And I've never heard that before! Very interesting, thanks!
Is there a way to tell which gear is CNC and which one is made from sintered metal just by looking at it?
Love the mystery I just purchased mine today!!
Enjoy!
Ok the random panel thing is pretty sweet,I don’t have a lot of time for kits because of work,but this is pretty cool 👍
That’s the 90’s dixie cup livery! All of them look good I think. I’m excited to see.
I was hoping for an h10 kit. I’m stoked! On my xmass list now.
I'll send a note to Santa!
Very cool! Love the optic and i love kits and i also love surprises so this is a win win win! Mystery guess is.. if orange one is based off a fast movie.. the other one would be the paul walker one to race against.
Finally, I like the Optic but not RTR, this is just what the Dr. ordered!!~~ Who is this Dr.?!
Dr. Josh?
Rebecca is the best of the best of the best, sir!
Agreed!
Great looking truck!!!

Right on!
The TGH rod end tool is also excellent for working with RCP track bumper rail hardware.
I was hoping for a purple livery but no 💜...
You had me at kit, then lost me at random. I’ve been waiting for a kit but I’d like to pick my livery. “Mystery machines” are only for hotwheels, not RC 😂
Agree to disagree!
@ good day sir…. I Said good day!🧐😄
I really doubt this is what gets released to the public. I feel like this is just something for the TH-camrs but if it is for the public that's pretty dumb.
I stand corrected. Yeah this is dumb. Lol.
Looks so good!

Good choice!
You know I want that carbon... but the Eibach and the Battleborn are my favs
I’m happy I got the grey cage in my rtr.
I'm always up to the RC action video🍿📺 Good looking car and nice action video👌👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome Kit!!!
Thank you Rebecca!
this is the product that got me - I dunno how you can say no🤷🏻♂
Don’t really need a second optic. Miss the more premium kits
Fair enough. Thanks for watching!
Cool. Gonna watch this later. I'm on the lookout for something new to build 🎉
Hope you enjoy!
So cool that the color is a surprise.
Agreed!

Enjoy!
This would look good with the ProBoat Jetstream in the Shreddy livery!
Ordered mine! Crazy sense of hey I’ve seen this before. You guys built them exactly the same except for colors 🤔
I wasn't really surprised since rcdriver gave it away at hobby show😂
When is this available to the public? Link sent me to the old RTRs
They're taking pre-orders now!
It's just a sticker sheet, I love this idea ❤ don't get the one you like , buy a sticker sheet?
I'm deff not saying the mystery variant is CF panels, and there most deff isn't a weight difference between it and the rest....
I’m definitely not not agreeing with you. 😉
The song is a total steal of the Rolling Stones ' Can't You Hear Me Knocking ".
If anything, I thought it sounded a little like the Black Crowes.
@scalebuildersguild the Singer for sure. Play the intro to can't you hear me knocking then this tunes intro.
@@HBFTimmahh i thought the same

You and me both!
Awesome man i would love a kit

Ohhh....or maybe forged carbon panels. That would be cool.

The frame is black.
I got this same livery. Just got it yesterday. Now I got to figure out how to build it…scary.
You can do it! Just take your time!
Looks pretty cool crawler...
Such a fan of this kit. Love how they did it.
On a side note... This video would have been much punnier if had received the orange one...
Ha!
Wish they went with the grey cage so we can dye it.
I like it but I feel it should have came with color matched wheels at least.
It doesn't come with any wheels. That's up to you, it's a builder's kit!
Sick idea!
😂 maybe the mystery truck has a livery of Josh's face 😂lol
One downside is the grey cage isn’t an option. So when I order mine I’ll have to order an extra cage
Oohh... So, is this where the painted remote from "shorts" is gonna be used? There is some similarity in the colours... :p
Funny how they included the anodized red oil cap on this kit. The kit i bought this year, they decided to not include it, they wanted to cut cost.
Which kit did you buy? It's been included on every kit I've ever bought. Maybe it was omitted by mistake?

Would be awesome, if the "special" would be 4WS.
But i assume it will be the grey cage.
I can't tell!
@scalebuildersguild in the meantime Josh said it's gonna be carbon panels.
A lot of wheel hop there with the heavier oil imo!
Yeah I definitely drove faster than I should have with that weight! Ha!

Fair enough!
Aw man… wish the shirt was included 😂
People complaining about random panels when other options often only have one design and no choices anyway...
If you dont like it, change it, just like any other truck out there.
Or trade!
Is there enough room for the longer 2-in-1 Hobbywing Fusions when building the kit?
The SE? I don't think so, no.
I was hoping to get your opinion after driving it. Do you think it needs any weight added on the axles? Like brass steering knuckles?
My first two Optics didn't, but I did add it to the build off truck. I haven't driven it yet, but for raw climbing, it should have a positive effect!
It's also better for the seller to have random panels, so they don't get stuck with colours that don't sell. Anyway in the RC community I'm sure you could find someone willing to swap panels 😊
Good point!
You have that Miami Vice vibe going on.
Carbon, Purple, Pink or maybe white as the "special mystery"
I can't say!
Hey I heard that!!
lol
😂 I'll say it to your face.
